We invite you to participate with us in a daily devotional time called “Your Daily Bread.” These daily devotions will come to you via our podcast network. It is through these daily podcasts that we hope you use to allow God to minister to your daily need enabling you to walk each and every day in the spirit of Christ.
Hello, my name is Paul, and I'm the voiceover for a ministry provided to you by Jim Pugh at God is Government called Your Daily Bread. Taken from Christ's teaching of the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6, verse 11. This is a daily devotion ministry focused not only on uplifting Scripture, but Scripture that will grow your spiritual connection with Christ. We hope that you receive these devotions to uplift you, encourage you, but most importantly, advance your knowledge base of the Holy Scriptures. Today's focused discussion will be on understanding God's universal relationship laws. God established all the laws of the universe. When you study these laws, you can fit them into categories. There are creation laws, relationship laws, physical laws, nature's laws, and scientific laws. We have chosen not to include the physical or scientific laws and the laws of nature in this series. However, we need to refer to those when combined with the laws presented in this part that make up the divine laws. Divine law is any law or rule that in the opinion of believers comes directly from the will of God or a God. Like natural law, which may be seen as a manifestation of divine law, it is independent of the will of man, who cannot change it. However, it may be revealed or not, so it may change in human perception in time through new revelation. It is all of the divine laws that allows us to experience life in this physical form. The physical, scientific laws, and the laws of nature are laws which we had to learn in our education process. They are readily available and have much documentary evidence of their existence. For the purpose of this educational series, we will only review creation laws and relationship laws. It is these two laws that God's government deals with the relationship with humanity. God tells us through his governmental rules and ordained order that he has given us authority over things of this earth, and in his name identify what the needs are, and declare them, in the name of God, to be so. What are these laws of the universe that give us this authority? Are these laws different from the old covenant to the new covenant? Are these laws different from what we were taught as being the laws of God in the Ten Commandments? We will answer these and many more questions regarding God's governmental laws in this podcast. In getting started, we will look to the creation as our beginning point and move through history to build the framework leading us to today's understanding. One thing that is important to make note early on in this podcast: universal laws that existed at the beginning of time are the same today. They have never changed. What has happened is that as we evolved through life in meeting the commissioning of life by our Creator, go forth in my eyes and perfect thyself. Our physical mind. We have connected the physical communication system to the universal communication system, has evolved to the point of understanding these laws, which we brought forth with us when we came into this physical form. Some of us have lived our lives in the beliefs of others, and have taken these laws as they were taught to us. Others have moved past the beliefs of others, and the belief of religions, and have come to a knowing of these laws that allow us to co-create our life, which is the divine plan. This does not mean we are like God in His creation, but are co-creators of our life experiences on earth, as long as we are living within the divine authority given to God to humanity. We get to choose when, how and what we want, and God provides as long as we are covered through his covenants with humanity. We discussed in the first book God's government authority structures, about God's government, his sovereign authority given to humanity to rule over this earth underneath his government, dominion, and that all things are provided with Jesus at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of all life experiences, his ordained order. It is through his covenants with humanity that the umbrella of sovereignty resides. So let's take a journey through time one more time and look at God's governmental creation and relationship laws as they were laid out for us from the beginning. This will allow us to build our knowledge base considering the teachings we have all had in our churches, schools, and life itself. The divine plan is one of freedom. Freedom is the birthright of every living soul. The truth points the way to freedom under the law. The bondage we sometimes feel is only created by man. It is not God ordained. It is through our soul, universal communication system, that directs our mind, physical communication system, to achieve that which is given by law under God. We could not have a mind unless there was a first mind behind ours, the mind of God which communicates with us constantly through our soul. Before the creation, the beginning, there were no laws. Our universal source, being pure love, had no reason for creating any laws. It was not until the creation itself that we find the first laws. It is in the ancient writings and biblical translations that teach the lesson of life, of individuality, and the relationship of the individual to the universe. These writings show that our source is perfect, but a source that works through laws. Therefore, these laws must be perfect, but it must also be entirely impersonal. Our source, being the essence of goodness, can never be or do evil, but man, being finite or undeveloped, does both good and evil, and through experience learns the lessons that good alone is ultimate and absolute. What is law? It is interesting to me that the definition of law is as difficult in defining as is the definition of life, so to speak. When we look up the word law in a dictionary, we find several different definitions of the same word depending on what subject we are looking at courts, nature, science, biblical, etc. Instead of including each different definition, we have looked to the commonality of all the definitions, and developed a comprehensive definition, reflecting their commonality herein. We have provided references so that the entire definitions could be reviewed. Law is defined as a system or collection of rules, whether it be in the form of regulation or principles established in a community by some higher authority and applicable to its people, that is regarded as governing the structure or the relationship of an element in the structure of something to the authority, to another element, or to the community as a whole. So, as we look into today's society and the past for how things operate in this world, we should not look for things labelled as laws. In fact, we should look for the relationships existing between authority, our source or God, the elements, energy at its basic form, and the community, universe, as a whole. It is in these relationships where the system of rules has been given to us to know the truth of life and to govern life on this earth. For if we were to live by these rules, we would need no other laws. Laws as we know them to be are labels made by humans and not our source. Our source tells us how we should manage the relationships between authority, elements, and community to live a life in spirit. These relationships go far beyond what many of us can understand. It is not because we do not know they exist. It is because we have closed our minds to that which we know, but have been taught something completely different. Programming. It is these relationships that respond to all our thoughts, both good and evil. It is the principles and regulations given to us by our source that become the doers. They are impersonal and remain neutral for all. To apply them correctly is the knowledge we must gain by understanding them and allowing them to take their place. We can choose to prevent them from taking place in the manner by which our source has provided with our ego and experience unrighteousness, not only in our life but in our home, our nation, and our world. In doing so, we limit our ability to co-create our life experiences when governing under God's government and receiving all the abundance given to us by the universe.
